Why the bloody hell would you say that?

Iraq had chemical weapons and the means to deliver them ahead of last year’s US-led invasion, Israel’s military chief said in an interview published today.

Iraq may have transferred the weapons to Syria or buried them in desert sands, said Lieutenant General Moshe Yaalon, speaking a month after a parliamentary investigation criticised Israeli intelligence gathering on Iraq.

In today’s interview in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper, Yaalon said that before the war, Iraq had developed the ability to fit planes with chemical weapons that could have been used against Israel.

“There is no doubt that in the eight months leading up to the war, the Iraqis prepared an ability to deliver by air chemical weapons, at least at us,” Yaalon said.

He said the Iraqis were preparing drones and Russian Tupolev-16 and Sakhoi aircraft to carry dozens or hundreds of kilograms of chemical substances.

Saddam's WMD hidden in Syria, says Iraq survey chief
By Con Coughlin
(Filed: 25/01/2004)


David Kay, the former head of the coalition's hunt for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, yesterday claimed that part of Saddam Hussein's secret weapons programme was hidden in Syria.



In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Dr Kay, who last week resigned as head of the Iraq Survey Group, said that he had uncovered evidence that unspecified materials had been moved to Syria shortly before last year's war to overthrow Saddam.

"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," he said. "But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved."

Dr Kay's comments will intensify pressure on President Bashar Assad to clarify the extent of his co-operation with Saddam's regime and details of Syria's WMD programme. Mr Assad has said that Syria was entitled to defend itself by acquiring its own biological and chemical weapons arsenal.

Syria was one of Iraq's main allies in the run-up to the war and hundreds of Iraqi officials - including members of Saddam's family - were given refuge in Damascus after the collapse of the Iraqi dictator's regime. Many of the foreign fighters responsible for conducting terrorist attacks against the coalition are believed to have entered Iraq through Syria.

A Syrian official last night said: "These allegations have been raised many times in the past by Israeli officials, which proves that they are false."

Sigh.

Sarcasm. It was total and absolute sarcasm.

[military cop]

Yeah..........


Uh..............


The mouth is moving............


But, all I hear is "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...."

[alloysteel]

Now Bush not only lied, he has become a Nazi too?

Nazis everywhere are hurt by the comparison. They were trying so hard to pattern themselves on the regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001", and triangulate themselves back into power....

[kallisti]

he's doing depends endorsements?

[OESY]

[luckymom]

Maybe he invented Depends!

[Rome2000]

Thus, for all these reasons, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have decided to fight to the rhetorical death over whether or not there's a meaningful connection between Iraq and al Qaeda. They think that if they lose that argument and people see the truth, then they'll not only lose support for the controversial decision to go to war, but also lose some of the new power they've picked up from the Congress and the courts

The connection is that Saddam Hussein is a terrorist and we are fighting a war on terror, but I may just be stupid.

[My2Cents]

All Americans should be so stupid.

[Christian4Bush]

How do you think Ben felt after watching the Florida Supreme Court usurp the Constitution in order to allow YOU to try & steal the 2000 election?

As they might say in the barrio, Es lo que yo pense (That's just what I was thinking...)

From your lips to Benjamin Franklin's ears!

[Argus]

What a great portrait of Gored Youth.

[El Sordo]

Oh.

Sorry.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Don'tcha worry!

[keithtoo]

WHATEVER DUDE

[bitt]

I don't like his tone. I don't like his suggestion that the President of the United States is a NAZI! I never liked him, but now I hate him.

[michigander]

But if George Washington could see the current state of his generation's handiwork and assess the quality of our generation's stewardship at the beginning of this twenty-first century, what do you suppose he would think about the proposition that our current president claims the unilateral right to arrest and imprison American citizens indefinitely without giving them the right to see a lawyer or inform their families of their whereabouts, and without the necessity of even charging them with any crime. All that is necessary, according to our new president is that he - the president - label any citizen an "unlawful enemy combatant," and that will be sufficient to justify taking away that citizen's liberty - even for the rest of his life, if the president so chooses. And there is no appeal.

It seems that it would depend on the circumstaces...

George Washington to Joseph Kirkbride, April 20, 1778

With respect to your future treatment of the Tories, the most effectual way of putting a stop to their traiterous practices, will be shooting some of the most notorious offenders wherever they can be found in flagrante delicto (in flagrante delicto: In the commission of the act.). This summary punishment inflicted on a few leading traitors will probably strike terror into others and deter them from exposing themselves to a similar fate.
